Pinyon-juniper woodlands host unique wildlife and wildlife habitat, as well as areas for hiking and outdoor recreation. 

A new scientific review article led by WCS captures the unique and dynamic characteristics of coastal lagoon ecosystems in the Arctic Beringia Region, and discusses how climate change effects and human development could alter these habitats.

Ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are on pace to surpass critical thresholds for coral health by mid-century, but rapid action to significantly reduce emissions could slow warming, giving corals and coral conservation programs as much as 20 more years to adapt, according to new research.

Invisible shipping tracks had a clear impact on the properties of clouds they polluted. Surprisingly, the specific effects were different to those of visible shipping tracks.

The results represent an early step toward developing what researchers hope will become the ability to forecast whether a slow-moving landslide will collapse.

Rising sea surface temperatures threaten tropical coral reefs, as these ecosystems are sensitive to a changing environment.

A group of Texas A&M researchers has identified behavioral and physiological changes in ants disturbed by development and urban sprawl.
